How we handle fire rated sealant in Sedlescombe
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Sedlescombe, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Sedlescombe as everywhere else we work.

Yes, Sedlescombe is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Sedlescombe for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Sedlescombe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Sedlescombe?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Sedlescombe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Fire rated sealant in Sedlescombe: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Battle station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Sedlescombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
